QuisLex, a premier offshore provider of legal support services, announced today that its Director of Litigation Services, Phil Algieri, will lead a discussion titled “E-Discovery and Effectively Working Through Privilege Issues” at the upcoming 14th Annual IQPC Financial Services E-Discovery Conference. The session will take place on November 26, 2012 at 11:45 am. at the Millennium Broadway Hotel in New York.

Joining Algieri will be Bob Fitzpatrick, General Counsel of Source Capital Group, Steve Bennett, Partner at Jones Day, and Gabriela P. Baron, Vice President, Business Development at Xerox Litigation Services

Together, they will provide an overview of where privilege is today and where it is heading in electronic discovery. They will also examine a number of privilege issues that litigators commonly face, including the following:
• Why sending business documents to lawyers does not always result in the protective seal of privilege
• How to review for privilege effectively
• What privilege logs really get you at the end of the day
• How Rule 502 is supposed to work and how it is working today
• When you should produce privileged information

“Considering the high stakes of large litigations and government investigations in the financial services industry, organizations need to understand the risks involved in failing to effectively review for privilege,” Algieri advised. “A better understanding of the issues and an effective plan will both reduce these risks and yield greater efficiency.”

This year’s IQPC Financial Services E-Discovery Conference will focus on information governance management strategies. The conference is designed to provide counsel in the financial services industry with practical, proven ways to manage the onslaught of ESI in light of the heightened prospect of government scrutiny.
